*The Paris Olympics provided basketball fans with memorable performances, but for Steph Curry and his family, it wasn’t all celebrations. NBA legend Curry’s wife, Ayesha, found herself in tears while dealing with French authorities in a moment that has since gone viral.
Ayesha Curry, a well-known TV personality here in the States, was in Paris to support her husband, who played a key role in Team USA‘s victory over France in the gold medal game. However, a video has surfaced showing her in a tense confrontation with local authorities, overwhelmed with emotion.
The video captures Ayesha wiping away tears during the altercation. Although the specifics of the dispute are unclear, it appears there was contention about whether she and her infant son, Caius Chai, could reach their car, which was stuck in traffic caused by French President Emmanuel Macron’s departure from the area.
The situation escalated when baby Caius got unintentionally hit on the head amid the chaos, prompting an emotional response from both Ayesha and Steph’s mother, Sonya.
Steph’s Golden State Warriors teammate, Draymond Green, was also present and vocally supportive. Green confronted the authorities, expressing his frustration:
“So even after y’all hit the baby in the head, there’s still nothing y’all can do to get them out of here?”
Despite their pleas, the French authorities remained firm, insisting that the family had to stay put. The confrontation left a lasting impression, overshadowing what had otherwise been an uplifting experience for the Curry family.
Prior to this distressing encounter, Steph Curry was riding high from his performance. He was pivotal in securing Team USA’s win against France, particularly with his clutch shooting in the game’s final moments. The victory earned Curry, alongside fellow NBA star LeBron James and their teammates, a coveted gold medal.
The incident with the authorities marks a somber conclusion to what had been a joyous Olympics for the Curry family. While the Paris Olympics will be remembered for the thrilling games, this emotional episode adds a stark reminder of the challenges faced even by the most celebrated athletes and their families.
